What's New?!
Schedule to Multiples
Easily schedule one assignment to be used in multiple classes. Just select the classes before scheduling the assignment and make your selections. No more scheduling one at a time in each individual class. Time Saver!

Stop Accepting
Ever wished you could control what gets submitted past your absolute due date? Now you can! Toggle between Accepting and Not Accepting when the work is past due or set the assignment to stop accepting after the due date when you create it.
{New August 2023}
Use Topics
Do yourself and your students a favor: develop and maintain Topics in you Google Classroom. Model to organization you want from your students and create order!
Create Canva Headers

Reminders:
Archive
Remember to clean up your completed Google Classrooms by ARCHIVING them at the end of the term! Help yourself, Help your students!
Copy w/ Care
As tempting as it may be, DON'T copy an entire class unless you are prepared to check every single assignment for attachments. Everything does NOT copy.
Reuse
Reuse posts - assignments, materials, announcements - from current AND archived Classrooms. Make any modifications needed and save yourself developing entirely new coursework.
